Porteen Gear

This is the Compact Camera Bag. Designed for the mirrorless camera systems, this lightweight bag has three compartments like my medium size bags. All seams are triple sewn, the bottom has 1/2 inch foam padding and the outer shell is a compressed harder foam. The padded inserts are sewn in but movable to customize the inside of your bag.

The  photo below shows a Nikon 1J1 camera with lens attached, an additional wide angle lens and my portable storage drive. Plenty of room left over for keys, wallet etc.

Bag measurements: 10 inches (25.4cm) long by 4.5 inches (11.43 cm) wide and 7inches (17.78 cm) tall.

Or you can go to my store and purchase the Pre-Order listing. You can put your specs in the “Notes setion during check-out:

I designed the size of this bag to carry the top selling compact systems: Nikon 1J1, Nikon V1, Panasonic Lumix, Sony NEX-5 and the Olympus Pen.  This also makes a great video bag:

Porteen Gear is now offering guitar straps! Many of my friends, including my husband are musicians, and I have had many requests for guitar straps. These are individually hand made with real leather ends. They have been tested for durability. My signature design includes a pearlized snap on the front of the strap, all metal hardware and unique colors. Straps are 2 inches wide.

Non-porous fiber, and high strength makes this an excellent choice for straps! To give you an idea on life span for this webbing, go to a local junk yard and look inside a vehicle that has seen its years. The one thing that will look to be in great condition are the seat belts!

Great gift idea for the musician in your circle!

There are nine colors currently available with Bronze and Black coming soon. You can find these in the Guitar Strap section in my Etsy store by clicking on the link to the right of this page.

I have found more of this popular fabric and have decided that since my favorite charity is the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, I will be donating $50.00 from each sale of this camera bag to help them out. This is one of those causes that deeply touches me and I will be helping them out as I can. They have a 2700 acre preserve that is the home for retired circus and old, sick and needy elephants. You can even watch the live “Elecams” and see what they are up to! A very good cause!

I will be keeping these bags In Stock in my store starting next week. If you wish to customize this bag by choosing different interior colors or leather, just let me know and I will make a custom listing for you.

Thanks!

A little more info:

The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee

The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee, is the nation’s largest natural-habitat refuge developed specifically to meet the needs of endangered elephants. It is a non-profit organization, licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, and accredited by the Association of Sanctuaries, designed specifically for old, sick or needy elephants who have been retired from zoos and circuses. Utilizing more than 2700 acres, it provides three separate and protected, natural-habitat environments for Asian and African elephants. Our residents are not required to perform or entertain for the public; instead, they are encouraged to live like elephants.
